Beta Pnds Of Nand Applications (Was Pidgin)


open a terminal, type
Code:
sudo opkg --autoremove remove pidgin
That should remove everything associated with pidgin, including all plugins and protocol libraries.
 
cheers wizard stan but it gives


Code:
Collected errors:
 * print_dependents_warning: Package pidgin is depended upon by packages:
 * print_dependents_warning: 	task-pandora-xfce
 * print_dependents_warning: These might cease to work if package pidgin is removed.

 * print_dependents_warning: Force removal of this package with --force-depends.

does the pnd'd version of pidgin still have the freezing issue 98?

You know this can be worked around by turning off audio alerts, right?

task-pandora-xfce I would guess is something specific to the Pandora, possibly related to the task manager? I don't know what it is nor why it relies on Pidgin.
I'm going to suggest not removing Pidgin from the NAND until someone can explain what this package is and why it needs Pidgin.

All the task* package are virtual (as for debian). They are here to help user install sets of packages (by setting some dependency).
this one is tricky : this is the one that is used to define what's in a pandora image or not.
You could force removal using the appropriate opkg option, but I swear : do not remove the task-pandora-xfce package.

Ah, well that's a relief then. Nothing to worry about. To remove pidgin:
Code:
sudo opkg --autoremove --force-depends remove pidgin
at least that should remove it all, I think... let me check... dang, it doesn't remove all the extras like I thought it would. The plugins and protocols. Ok, do this instead:
Code:
sudo opkg --force-depends remove pidgin
sudo opkg --force-depends remove pidgin-data 
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple-plugin-ssl
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple-plugin-ssl-gnutls
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple-protocol-aim
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple-protocol-icq
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple-protocol-irc
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple-protocol-msn
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple-protocol-xmpp
sudo opkg --force-depends remove libpurple-protocol-yahoo
That definitely takes care of everything.

Cheers seems to have worked,
One last thing, how do I remove the shortcut on the bottom bar (or reassign it to the sd pnd) ive looked about in the nand but cant find the file which controls it.

Doesn't Right-Click on that icon show a remove?

Yeh I was clearly looking for a much harder solution,

Thanks

does pidgin support custom alerts? if so, what file formats does it handle? that could be an option for dealing with that issue as well...

Reading this after having removed the task-pandora-xfce package, how do I get it back? :)
